  • Abstract Daughtry, Katheryne Virginia
    ABSTRACT DAUGHTRY, KATHERYNE VIRGINIA. Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Lactobacillus buchneri Strains Isolated from Spoiled Fermented Cucumber. (Under the direction of Dr. Rodolphe Barrangou and Dr. Suzanne D. Johanningsmeier). Lactobacillus buchneri is a facultative anaerobe and member of the lactic acid bacteria. L. buchneri has been isolated from various environments, but most commonly from decomposing plant material, such as silage and spoiled food products, including wine, beer, Swiss cheese, mayonnaise, and fermented cucumber. Recently, the metabolic pathway for the conversion of lactic acid to acetic acid and 1,2-propanediol was annotated in this species. Although this metabolic pathway is not common in most lactic acid bacteria, L. buchneri degrades lactate under various conditions. Lactic acid utilization in fermented cucumbers leads to a rise in pH, ultimately spoiling the product. In previous studies, strains of L. buchneri isolated from fermented cucumber spoiled displayed variation in colony morphologies. It was predicted the isolates were phenotypically and genotypically diverse, and that the abilities to degrade lactic acid may be strain specific. To examine this hypothesis, thirty-five L. buchneri cultures isolated from spoiled fermented cucumber and the type strain isolated from tomato pulp were characterized and unique strains were subjected to whole genome sequencing. Each isolate was genotypically and phenotypically characterized using 16S rDNA sequencing, DiversiLab® rep-PCR, colony morphology on MRS agar, carbohydrate profiling, growth rates in MRS media, and the ability to degrade lactic acid in a modified MRS medium. Great diversity in colony morphology revealed variations of color (ranging from opaque yellow to white), texture (brittle, viscous, or powdery), shape (umbonate, flat, circular, or irregular) and size (1 mm- 11mm).

  • Bacterial Diversity and Functional Analysis of Severe Early Childhood
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Bacterial diversity and functional analysis of severe early childhood caries and recurrence in India Balakrishnan Kalpana1,3, Puniethaa Prabhu3, Ashaq Hussain Bhat3, Arunsaikiran Senthilkumar3, Raj Pranap Arun1, Sharath Asokan4, Sachin S. Gunthe2 & Rama S. Verma1,5* Dental caries is the most prevalent oral disease afecting nearly 70% of children in India and elsewhere. Micro-ecological niche based acidifcation due to dysbiosis in oral microbiome are crucial for caries onset and progression. Here we report the tooth bacteriome diversity compared in Indian children with caries free (CF), severe early childhood caries (SC) and recurrent caries (RC). High quality V3–V4 amplicon sequencing revealed that SC exhibited high bacterial diversity with unique combination and interrelationship. Gracillibacteria_GN02 and TM7 were unique in CF and SC respectively, while Bacteroidetes, Fusobacteria were signifcantly high in RC. Interestingly, we found Streptococcus oralis subsp. tigurinus clade 071 in all groups with signifcant abundance in SC and RC. Positive correlation between low and high abundant bacteria as well as with TCS, PTS and ABC transporters were seen from co-occurrence network analysis. This could lead to persistence of SC niche resulting in RC. Comparative in vitro assessment of bioflm formation showed that the standard culture of S. oralis and its phylogenetically similar clinical isolates showed profound bioflm formation and augmented the growth and enhanced bioflm formation in S. mutans in both dual and multispecies cultures. Interaction among more than 700 species of microbiota under diferent micro-ecological niches of the human oral cavity1,2 acts as a primary defense against various pathogens. Tis has been observed to play a signifcant role in child’s oral and general health.

Comparative 16S rRNA gene Braunschweig, Germany sequencing showed that the unknown bacterium represents a new line closely related to, albeit distinct from, the genera Carnobacterium and Desemzia.On the basis of phylogenetic and phenotypic evidence, it is proposed that strain M577-94T be classified as Isobaculum melis gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Isobaculum melis is CCUG 37660T (l DSM 13760T). Keywords: Isobaculum melis, 16S rRNA, taxonomy, phylogeny The genus Carnobacterium was proposed as the genus known non-spore-forming rod-shaped bacterium, accommodating the species Lactobacillus divergens isolated from a badger, which somewhat resembles and Lactobacillus piscicola and a number of atypical carnobacteria.
